I hope everything will be fine in your life. ### 5/5 — so far so good! *2023-10-24* The Calendar will not seem to move to the next day and allow me to make an entry. When I've made an entry on a previous day. I can click on entries and go back to calendar and it will move to the day I click on. It's no big deal. just a side note. I like the simplicity of it I just want to jot down my day's highlights ### 5/5 — Great! Use this app *2023-07-17* User friendly, streamline and free and even when I choose to purchase it is affordable. **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — good app *2023-05-24, version 3.0.3* very good app ### 5/5 — Удобное приложение *2022-07-12, version 1.2.2* Удобное приложение, пользуюсь на телефоне и на планшете. Крайне рекомендую, нравятся цветные темы. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Вы что творите *2023-08-10, version 3.2.0* Приложение отличное, все работает здорово. Кроме одного. Уже пятый раз за 5 минут выплывает окно с предложением оценить приложение. Ну вот и получайте отзыв. Так нельзя, это безумно отвлекает и злит. ### 2/5 — I updated the app and lost all of my journal entries *2023-04-26* I really liked this app and was super excited to see the features of the new update, but when I logged in, I didn't see any of my journal entries and now I'm disheartened. I had such great things written out and now it's lost... I don't know how to get it back either. What happened to all of my entries? Update to developers response: Unfourtunally, your response is not only very late, but unhelpful. The only thing that I used on this app was a passcode to get into my dairy. Meaning, I don't believe I made an "account" on this app. I never sent information to whatever backup system you have for this app because I personally don't trust anything that can be hacked and used against me. Which has happened in the past and, I'm sure you would understand this, I still get spam and hackers calling and texting my phone religiously. So forgive me for not finding your response to my problem helpful or relevent. I won't be downloading this app again, which isn't against you or your app, and I'll have everything in a physical form for now on. You do not have to respond to this review, though I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my first review regardless. Thank you. **Developer response:** You would not be able to use the application without creating an account in it. We will help you to log into the correct account if you email us at support@colorhub.online ### 2/5 — I updated the app and lost all of my journal entries *2023-04-07, version 3.0.3* I really liked this app and was super excited to see the features of the new update, but when I logged in, I didn't see any of my journal entries and now I'm disheartened. I had such great things written out and now it's lost... I don't know how to get it back either. What happened to all of my entries? ### 3/5 — Bugs to be fixed *2023-08-26, version 3.4.1* The add photo icon in the bottom left covers the text. Photos cannot be displayed in offline mode. ### 4/5 — Safe and secure, not enough emotion *2025-11-08* It’s great to vent. I just spill my thoughts and that’s that. When my parents tried to get in, they couldn’t. I don’t have anything terrible, I just like my own privacy. I just wish there was more emotions. I find it hard to diagnose my feeling, and the emojis aren’t always enough. Maybe if you allowed people to write their mood in that would be great ### 4/5 — I WOULD DEFINETLY RECOMMEND *2025-04-05, version 3.17.1* THIS IS HONNESTLY PERFECT I LOVE THE COLOUR AND HOW EVERYTHING IS ORGANISED. JUST WISHED IT HAD AUTO CORRECT. BUT OTHER THEN THAT ITS A 4 STAR ### 4/5 — Good, but I have 1 tiny problem. *2024-12-27, version 3.16.1* So I accidentally clicked off the typing and now I can’t get back on to where I was typing because the ‘new entry’ button is in the way. But besides that, I love this app because it’s so tidy and cute. I also love how you can insert so many things like ur mood, an image and all that… I haven’t looked properly because i only got this app yesterday but is there a way to move images like next to a piece of writing that u did in ur diary entry? Please respond 💜📔 -shannon xx ### 4/5 — very good app *2024-11-27, version 3.15.2* it's a very good app. But i forgot my password. How can i reset it?? ### 4/5 — Nice diary *2024-05-08* I like this diary. I have all Apple products and my psychiatrist and therapist both recommended I start using a journal. No matter where I am, I can use this app and it syncs with my other device. My only complaint is that I wish they would expand on the emojis for the feelings. Being Bipolar, it’s important for me to document the right emotion and I can’t always do that. **Developer response:** Hello! We are working on an update with more emotions. Thanks for your feedback! ### 4/5 — Хорош *2022-03-05, version 1.1.2* Все хорошо. Только хотелось бы чтобы пин код запрашива не только после выхода полного, а после каждого сворачевания дневника. Так как можно забыть нажать на выход и просто свернуть либо закрыть планшет и тогда эта информация уже не станет личной и запароленой.подскажите стилусом можно писать в нём записи? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love! Very Simple! *2026-07-24* This app is super easy and is not glitchy or anything, it’s basically another notes app so I love it. ### 5/5 — Liking this app *2025-09-21* I just got this app because I was tired of constant advertisement on an old app I have and so far I’m liking it’s easy to use no nonsense. I’m not a tech person I find it very easy to use **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words and for giving our app a try! ### 5/5 — Liking this app *2025-08-26* I just got this app because I was tired of constant advertisement on an old app I have and so far I’m liking it’s easy to use no nonsense. I’m not a tech person I find it very easy to use ### 5/5 — This app is really good 👍😊👍 *2025-05-04, version 3.17.0* I love this app because it is a private diary so I can write my thoughts and feelings and no one can see it. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2025-02-26* Great, minimal app. Please add ability to add multiple notifications. I’d like to be reminded multiple times throughout my day to add something. And only once a day doesn’t cut it for me. Also need a system font option, San Francisco. **Developer response:** Thank you so much! The feature for multiple notifications is already in our backlog, and I’ll prioritize it. Could you clarify what you mean by a system font option? If you have specific preferences, feel free to share more details at support@colorhub.online. ### 5/5 — Nice alternative *2025-02-04* Looking for an alternative for Day One, on which I experienced ongoing technical issues. This is a nice alternative. The interface is spare, which I find more appealing. And it has all the tools I need for daily journaling. A good find. **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words! We’re glad you found Purple Diary a good alternative and that it meets your journaling needs. If you ever have any questions or suggestions, feel free to reach out! ### 5/5 — Not working on Mac *2024-12-03* I do love the app and it wokrs great on my Iphone and Surface. I just downloaded it on my 2013 Macbook and all I get is a blank window. **Developer response:** Hello! Please let us now your macOS version, thanks! ### 5/5 — Cross platform works on the free version *2024-12-03* 💯 **Developer response:** Thanks! ### 5/5 — Идеальное, нет недостатков *2024-09-12, version 3.15.2* Очень нравится это приложение, нет ничего лишнего, удобно пользоваться. Особенно радует быстрая синхронизация со всеми устройствами ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2024-02-01* I love how easy to excess the diary, very simple and I love simple **Developer response:** Thanks you!
